For All Prizes (Sweepstakes and Instant Win Game): All federal, state or other tax liabilities (including, but not limited to, income taxes) arising from winning a prize valued at or over $600.00

in the Promotion will be the sole responsibility of the applicable prize winner. Each winner of a prize valued at or over $600.00 will be issued an IRS Form 1099-MISC (or other tax documents, if applicable) from Sponsor for the total ARV of the prize won (as stated herein) in the calendar year won. Terms and conditions of gift cards and codes apply. The actual value of a prize that is an electronic product is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed. No cash equivalent will be awarded for any prize, and all prizes are non-transferable, and no substitution will be made except as provided herein at the Sponsor’s sole discretion. For each prize, Sponsor reserves the right to substitute such prize for one of equal or greater value if the designated prize should become unavailable for any reason. Winners are solely responsible for all taxes and fees associated with receipt of a prize and/or its use. TOTAL ARV OF ALL PRIZES: $12,917.81.

Limit: One (1) Sweepstakes prize and one (1) Instant Win Game prize per person. In all cases, if a prize winner is a resident of a jurisdiction that deems him/her to be a minor, such Prize winner’s prize will be awarded in the name of his/her parent/legal guardian.

8. Verification of Potential Winners: Receiving a prize is contingent upon compliance with these Official Rules. The potential Sweepstakes Grand Prize winner and the potential Instant Win Game prize winners will be notified by mail, email or phone, at Sponsor’s discretion. Each potential winner (parent/legal guardian if winner is a minor in his/her state of residence) of a prize valued at or greater than $600 will be required to sign and return a Declaration of Compliance, Liability and Publicity Release (“Release”), which must be received by Administrator within five (5) days of the date notice or attempted notice is sent to the applicable potential winner, in order to claim the prize. If a potential winner of any prize cannot be contacted or fails to sign and return the Release or provide any other requested information within the required time period (if applicable), or in the event that a prize is returned as undeliverable, the applicable potential winner forfeits the prize. In the event that the potential Sweepstakes Grand Prize winner is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the Sweepstakes Grand Prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible entries. In the event that a potential winner of an Instant Win Game prize valued over $25 is disqualified for any reason, Sponsor will award the applicable prize to an alternate winner by random drawing from among all remaining eligible game plays. There will be three (3) alternate drawings after which the prize will remain unawarded. Unclaimed prizes valued at $25 or less will not be awarded. Prizes will be fulfilled approximately 8-10 weeks after the conclusion of the entire Promotion.

(“CTMG”), Administrator, Facebook, Inc., Twitter, Inc., and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, advertising/promotion agencies and each of their respective parent companies and each such company’s officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from and against any claim or cause of action, including, but not limited to, personal injury, death, or damage to or loss of property, arising out of participation in the Promotion or receipt or use or misuse of any prize.

11. General Conditions: Sponsor reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Promotion, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures, human error or any other factor impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Sweepstakes or Instant Win Game, as determined by Sponsor in its sole discretion. In such event, Sponsor reserves the right to award the applicable prizes at random from among the eligible entries or plays received up to the time of the

impairment. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Promotion, including the Sweepstakes or Instant Win Game or to be acting in violation of the Official Rules of this or any other promotion or in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Sweepstakes or the Instant Win Game may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Sponsor reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Sponsor’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.

12. Limitations of Liability: The Released Parties are not responsible for: (1) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Promotion; (2) technical failures of any kind, including, but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (3) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Promotion; (4) technical or human error which may occur in the administration of the Promotion or the processing of entries; or (5) any injury or damage to persons or property which may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Promotion or receipt or use or misuse of any prize. If for any reason an Entrant's entry or play is confirmed to have been erroneously deleted, lost, or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, Entrant’s sole remedy is another Sweepstakes entry or Instant Win Game play, if possible in Sponsor’s sole discretion. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded. In the event that production, technical, seeding, programming or any other reasons cause more than stated number of prizes as set forth in these Official Rules to be available and/or claimed, Sponsor reserves the right to award only the stated number of prizes by a random drawing among all legitimate, un-awarded, eligible prize claims.

All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of the entrant and Sponsor in connection with the Promotion, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York.
